Seven family members killed by Burmese officials
Jul 10, 2008 - According to an inside source a villager from Hsorapheku, Koson village tract, Phekon Township in southern Shan State arrived at the Karenni army camp in Shadaw Township on July 9th and reported that he is the sole survivor of a massacre of his family by Burmese local officials.
In a telephone conversation the source reported that the villager, who is called Shar Reh, claims that seven members of his family were killed by the Burmese township chairman Nyar Reh and the USDA secretary Noe Reh, as they were suspected of campaigning for a no vote in the referendum. Shar Reh explained that a leaflet urging people to vote against the SPDC’s draft-constitution was found outside their house and they were held responsible.
Shar Reh narrowly escaped the massacre, but his widowed mother Pray Myar, brothers Phebu, Oo Reh, Ree Reh, Thoe Reh, Taw Reh and his sister Mei Myar were all killed. The bodies of his family where then thrown into a deep cave near the village. The date these unlawful killings took place has not been confirmed.
